New Forest boss Aitor Karanka brings his side to Molineux looking to cause an upset against the runaway league leaders.

Wolves are winless in three games but Nuno says they're fully prepared and focused to get back on track.

"We're ready and we’re focused," he said.

"We’re working well, fit and ready to go.

"(Forest is) a good team. It was a good, tough game but it was long ago, things have changed a lot in both squads.

"They have a new manager and Aitor is a good manager, he will try to put his ideas in the team.

"We analyse like we always do and respect the opponent.

"We’re preparing for it, we know the squad of Forest and what they’ve been doing, changes they’ve been making.

"They will come here to have a good game. It’s up to us to put our ideas and make us stronger.

"Like always, nothing changes. The result doesn’t change the approach and the idea of work that we have.

"The focus is always on the next game which is more important than anything else."

Forest have struggled this season but recently beat Premier League giants Arsenal in the FA Cup.

Nuno added: "I saw that game, no doubt that they deserved it, they played well.

"In these moments of the competition we are really focused on ourselves and what we have to do on the pitch, no matter what the opponent.

"Except the situation of Phil (Ofosu-Ayeh) everyone is ready to go."

Wolves will be watched by their fourth home sell-out of the season.

Nuno added: "It’s fantastic, we must thank the fans and we know they’re going to help us.

"Together we are stronger."
